Table Bay Boulevard may be renamed FW de Klerk Boulevard if the Cape Town council accepts a proposal by the city's naming committee on Thursday.
City councillor, Brett Herron, says this proposal complies with the city's naming policy which states that citizens of Cape Town and South Africa may be considered in their lifetime if they have received international recognition of the highest kind.
He says the former president fell within that category as a Nobel peace prize winner.
Herron says the decision to propose De Klerk's name followed a written request by prominent residents of Cape Town to mayor Patricia De Lille and the city council in June last year.
The 27 signatories include Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu and Western Cape premier Helen Zille.
